This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immoveable object I stand aghast to the innumerous opportunities to seize, the moments to capture Both propelled and wrenched am I, towards a fate, rather a destiny of choice Blinding vision, deafening attentiveness, provoking speechlessness with my voice

All existing within one emotion are hope, fear, bravery and despair The enormous complexities undertake this metamorphosis to simplistic and clear The future so luminous, laden with the fruit of opportunity Beseeching me to reach in and ensnare the convenient openings As I am given every urge to leap forward distances of gargantuan proportions I defy, and hold back with every ounce of conviction therein my veins For I know all too well that if I release my disinclined and hesitating clasp Normal, average, accustomed and acquainted shall know neither future nor present It is undoubtedly true life is a measure of balance between desires and necessities Fear of uncertainty is a crippling and persuasive force, nevertheless irrelevant Though I’ve held on to the notion of desire one must come to terms with unrelenting truth Every desire comes bearing necessities and then there are necessities that stand alone Perhaps the revolutions of the second hand are sufficient And the exchanges of the sun and moon are acceptable And now I must not merely release the hold and be drawn in at unrivaled speeds towards the light But I must actuate my own additional impulse breaking down the barriers of infinity Embark must I, on the journey away from normal The same again, normal again, nothing ever shall be
